Shriram Life Insurance Company (SLIC) is empanelled as an Annuity Service Provider by the Pension Fund Regulatory Development Authority (PFRDA). The empanelment will help the insurance major manage the annuity component of the maturity proceeds under the National Pension System (NPS).
The PFRDA’s certification will help SLIC garner more NPS subscribers under its annuity plan.
With close to 1.5 crore subscribers under NPS and with an AUM of more than Rs 7 lakh crores in the country, SLIC’s empanelment as ASP will help it mobilize 40% of the NPS maturity amount, which will be open to investment in annuity schemes.
Immediate Annuity Plus, SLIC’s annuity plan, has options for NPS subscribers that offers flexible options retirees to continue their lives in the same financial conditions as before.
The annuity premium mobilization in India is above Rs 25,000 crores per year.
As NPS subscriptions mature and subscribers retire, this opportunity will expand further.
This will also enable customers to choose from an array of insurance providers who provide rewarding annuity plans according to their needs and lifestyle.
“Shriram Life has a well-priced immediate annuity product and a robust fund management framework.
